Analysis
The most recent figure for cumulative co₂ emissions from gas in Thailand is 2.02 billion tonnes, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 75 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.3% on the previous year and up 69.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, cumulative co₂ emissions from gas in Thailand peaked at 2.02 billion tonnes in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 tonnes, in 1950.
That places Thailand 29th out of 146 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
